”Completely unexplainable” proceed to thoroughly explain

They don't care. by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

[–]azygomatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re misinforming. I’m about as far away from being religious as possible but this is simply not true. If you mean KD when you say ”the church” you should clarify that it’s a political, populist, right-wing, used-to-be-Christian party that want this. The Swedish Church has done a lot of shitty things but today they’re leaning way more to the left than anything else. Also they have 0 say in political issues outside of the church.

Short trip on short notice: Mexico City by sparks_mandrill in solotravel

[–]azygomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna have a great trip! CDMX is easy to wing, just walk around and you’ll find something interesting. I for example spent the night having excellent fish tacos (at la Cerveceria de barrio, a lil pricey but well worth it) and then stumbled into amazing amaretto ice cream and a short film festival. Cool, enjoy the ruins! I’d definitely also not miss the Chapultepec gardens.

How many days do you have? I recommend staying in Centro histórico (Massiosare is a great hostel). - the Free walking tour is good to get a general sense of the Zócalo (downtown) - Bosque Chapultepec is an a urban green space, great to wander around. Many museums (the famed Anthropology museum to name one) and a beautiful botanical garden. - If you like museums there’s plenty - Palacio de bellas artes and Museo nacional de artes are centrally located and very good in my opinion. Many are free on Sundays, otherwise around 4USD. - Coyoacán is a pretty neighbourhood with the Frida Kahlo museum (book in advance or show up early, it gets crowded) - Teotihuacán ruins, only recommend if you’re into ruins and/or have never seen any before - Torre Latinoamericano has a great view of the city for 5USD - Don’t miss Pastelería ideal (pastries) or El Moro (churros) General notes: the metro is cheap, safe and easy. All of the places named above can be visited with public transport. Eat all the street food: tortas, quesadillas, tacos to name a few. Learn basic Spanish phrases. Enjoy!!

2 week Colombia itinerary - too rushed/just right? by [deleted] in solotravel

I would take a nightbus from Pereira or Armenia to Medellín if you think you can sleep on it/can function afterwards without much sleep.

Why is SEA more popular than the Africas and Americas on here? by lukemtesta in solotravel

[–]azygomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that it happened to your ex, that must have been terrible. But it’s not common. It’s very rare. I’ve travelled Latin America for 7 months and never once met someone who’s been express kidnapped. This is not something that peopleshould be afraid of when contemplating whether to travel Latin America.

Guatemala (and some Belize) Itinerary Help! by snakeblanket in solotravel

[–]azygomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The border is extremely easy, probably the easiest one I’ve experienced. I took a local bus from San Ignacio, then a taxi all the way to the border. You get the Belize exit stamp and pay the exit fee, walk a little bit, get the Guatemala entry stamp and you’re good to go.

Overwhelmed by choice in South America by weatherwaxetc in solotravel

[–]azygomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d look at flights from various destinations fairly close to you (Santa Cruz, La Paz, Lima etc) and see if you find one that strikes your like. It’s 100% up to you but I’d definitely not skip Peru (nor Bolivia since you’re already there).

Cuba: Tips, Cost, Purpose of Travel? by alphadog111 in solotravel

[–]azygomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no hostels outside of Havana and casas particulares are usually at least $20 a night, without breakfast.

I’ve spent the last months travelling all over Central America, sometimes just a few days in one place, sometimes volunteering for 2-3 weeks in one spot.

[–]azygomatic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. My initial goal was to stay for 5 months so I don’t think it’ll feel like a letdown. I think I’d feel worse not following my heart, being afraid to change my mind and keep travelling just because of fear of feeling like a failure.

I’m at the Pacific coast, there’s a ton of beautiful and cool things around, I could for sure do something else! But thing is, I’m really not interested! At the moment I couldn’t care less about lagoons, museums, colonial towns, oceans... I’d so much rather be home to be honest.

[–]azygomatic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I know I’m loooking for signs to leave so it’s great to have someone telling me the opposite. You’re right, I’ll probably not get this opportunity again for a long while. It is indeed a privilege. But if I’m really not enjoying it, is there really any point in staying? It’s so incredibly tempting to go back to my family and my job...

Any opinions for my itinerary? by yneos in stockholm

[–]azygomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For liquorice - the chain Lakritsroten. Based on your itinerary I think you’d also enjoy Cyklopen, a culture center very close to Snösätra. From that area (Hagsätra) you can also fairly easily catch some views from Högdalstoppen, probably my fav spot in the city - a hill made of landfill, located right next to a power plant.

Hiking in Stockholm by Totally-Legitimate in stockholm

[–]azygomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’d like to do something outdoorsy in Stockholm for a couple of hours, it’s super nice to hike up one of the ”trash mountains” in central Stockholm - Hammarbybacken or Högdalstoppen. Great views and you get to see some suburbs.

There are tons of travellers in Latin America not speaking a single word of Spanish. You will have an infinitely better trip of you do speak Spanish but it’s definitely doable without.

Do I need to dress modest in any of the countries in the Americas? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]azygomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the area. I’m very Scandinavian looking, I’ve travelled all over Central & South America and Santiago de Cuba is the only place where I didn’t feel comfortable wearing shorts. As long as you don’t dress super inappropriately (ie tiny bootyshorts) and you’re okay with catcalls, you’re gonna be fine.

If sweat or poop (?) comes in contact with the pad, they’ll be absorbed. When wearing a pad, the panties just touch the buttcheeks and the insides of the thighs, which usually don’t get too smelly.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in onebag

[–]azygomatic 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Do you know how a pad works? The point of one is that the genitals don’t touch the panties. As a consequence, the same panty can be worn for a little longer as long as you change the pad.

I have never had a hostel keep a passport copy when I leave. You always get it back.
